Revlon Diamond Lust sheer shadow

Revlon Diamond Lust Last week I splurged and treated myself to Revlon’s Diamond Lust sheer shadow in platinum plaything. I had been considering purchasing it for quite some time. Finally, it’s sparkly goodness could not be resisted any longer, and I happily came home with the silver sheer shadow – platinum plaything.
Having never spent $10 on one eyeshadow before now, I was expecting this stuff to apply itself to my eyelids. Or at the very least, blind the people looking directly into my eyes.
No such luck.

But it does work nicely. I wouldn’t recommend layering it as a normal eyeshadow on your eyes – the result, unless you’re very close to the wearer, is rather matte, almost dull. Instead, use another shadow or even a sparkly eyeliner (Try Rimmel – I’ll review their sparkly eyeshadow in another post!), and apply Diamond Lust from the top of your lid up to your brow. Use only one layer, and smooth a finger tip worth all over to create an incredibly sparkly effect that lasts for hours.

For those interested, the following are comparison photos.

    I would use it over a shadow, a light brown base with a darkened edge to highlight the high and left of your brow bone, then to wisp over it with the glitter to give it a glam effect.

    I’ve even used glitter shadows mixed with lipgloss to have a more sparkle effect when used appropriately.

    I used to do make up! :\
